Mr. Bristol's Barn: With Excerpts from Mr. Blinn's Diary

The first book of John Szarkowski's own images since The Idea of Louis Sullivan, Mr. Bristol's Barn is another exploration of the interplay between architecture and history, and the photograph's ability to reveal the richness we have imparted to the built environment. His images are reminiscent of Walker Evans', and combined with the diary of Mr Bristol's neighbor, Mr. Blinn, are a romantic look into America's pastoral past.
